These counties lie in a hilly country, reminding one ot Buncombe. The roads here are much lighter in construction than the roads in Southern New Jersey. They are from 10 to 15 leet in width and average about four inches thick. The manner of construction is the same as followed in Burlington except it is rarely neces sary to use a Telford foundation, the soil being clay. The cost of a 12 ft. 4 in. road in tms section is about $4,000 per mile. AM the roads in New Jersey are built by contract and it is our opinion large profits are made in the construc tion of these roads. On this trip we drove over a section of road with only 2- inches ot Mac Adam on a clav subsoil. The old Patterson and New York IT IS DEUYEKKU TO lllMliMIH VOTEItS TODAY.

They hoist the stone by steam power Irom the tiunrry into the crusher, l-roru t tie crusher the stone goes into wagons. The cost ol crushed stone spread on the streets is about 75 cents per cubic yard. On the morning ol the 13th your com mittee, under the care of the citizens of Charlotte nud Mukleuburg county went on a tour ol inspection over the country roads. The trip was over the old Statesvillc road, once famous as the worst ron 1 in North Carolina This m now one of the best roads in the Slate. It is laid oil' about 30 feet with good ditches on each side. On one side about lo leet is Mac Adamized.

There the farmers were collecting the stone otl their fields and piling them up in conven ient places, where the county bands crushed them and hauled the metal to the adjacent toads. 1 bey advocated a Ma:Adam not exceeding eight feet wide and eight to ten inches thick, and used the material unscreened, preferring to have all sizes mized together (This point CGNTINI.'KMON SUCOND PACK.

The officers went onto the porch of a Mrs. Wilson s house to innuire about the man they wanted. Mrs. Wilson's sons, Charley and Sam, were in the house, and the former came to the door.

This was larvis day in Asheyille, and the distinguished I'nited States Senator had a beautiful day for his first appear ance in Buncombe this campaign. The day was neither too warm nor too cool and a beautiful sunlight shone over everything in a way that suggested na ture's smiles of approval on true Democracy. The Senator came in yesterday after noon from the east. He was met at the station by Col. J. G. Martin, chairman of the county committee, and President D. M. Luther of the Asheville Democratic club. He spent the night at the Swau- uanoa, and was called on by a number of friends. About 12 o'clock today Senator larvis filled bis appointment to speak at the Farmers' warehouse. The stage ol the big building was gaily decorated with flags and bunting. Grouped on the stage were Gen. K. B. Vance, Col. A. T. David son, J. S. Adams, Col.J.G. Martin, J. M. Gudger, J. M. Gudger, jr., Chns. N. Vance, I. U. Murphy, Mu. uiat, .M. Stedman, State Auditor K. M. Purmnn, D. M. Luther, Louis M. Bourne, Key. Dr. Jas. Atkins, K. D. Gilmer and others, and several ladies. The crowd assembled slowlv, and when Senator Jarvis, conducted by County Chairman Martin, D. M. Luther, Louis M. Bourne (wno introduced the speaker) and others, arrived at 11:25 there were probably not over oOO people present. The crowd then very rapidly increased and in a few minutes the large room was packed from the speaker's stand to the door. During the speaking the attention was very close, there ucwg no disorder ol any kind, and every word uttered by the Senator could be dis tinctly heard by those on the outside ol the throng. The frequent applause cl the people showed their appreciation ol the manv telling bits in the Senators great speech. He spoke with the clear ness and simplicity that is one ol Ins dis tinguishing characteristics, and ttiat makes his words peculiarly eUqiient An occasional anecdote enlivens Ins re porch, Sam Wilson ran out und with a cry aimed a blow witn a siungsnot at btcohenson s head. 1 lie officer turned his head and received the blow on the forehead.

Governor Tillman declares in tin interview that "constables will go to work and search all places where they have reason to know that liquors arc kept and that private residences will not be exempt wnen tney are muac depots lor tnc stor age of whiskey." He says the town people nave notintig to gain and everything to lose by their opposition to the enforcement of the ('i?- pensary law. Incase the mayors and police fail to co-operate with the consta bles, the governor says, such municipali ties will receive no share ol the profits and the legislature will likely institute police systems In them under the control of the State.

Tlie selection of a road on which mac adamizing is tc begin was postponed to the reuulur mcctinc in November, when propositions for contributions to the work Irom different sections of the county will be considered. Messrs. Geo. S. Powell and J.
